The survey showed almost 20 per cent of families with children were likely to stay in the UK, compared with just 10 per cent of couples without children.
VisitBritain launched a £6.5 million campaign this year to encourage Brits to holiday at home, whilst Pontin’s holiday camp is flourishing with bookings up by 30% this year.
